Mrs. Carliss swOre out two warrants be-

SOUTH SIDE BURGLARS

Enter and Rob n Residence-An attempt
to Crack n Shoe Shop.
The residence of Mrs Ella Kahn, No.
., 406 Chapline street was entered on
Saturday night by burglars, who gained
entrance by breaking through a back win
dow, while the family were absent. Mrs.
Kahn and her daughter were at the theateI
and her two Sons who run ON the b. IL ..
were at work. The former returned about
III o'clock and were surprised to find the
front door open, and on entering the house
found everything i'll state of disorder,
bureau drawers broken open and pulled
out, and nearly everything of value easily
carried gone, among which was quite an
amount of jewelry, pocket book contain
ing So, fine ACCORDION, silk mutflers,
gloves, gold pen and pencil, silver card
basket and a lot of clothing. A rosary
with a silver medal attached, was also
taken. Officer Stevens was notified, and
he tracked the thief to the back gate and
into the yard of an adjoining house, where
he had evidently gone on the same mis-
Kain's loss is over $75.
While in the Niagara engine house
yesterday morning at , O'Clock Officer Xii
leen heard a peculiar noise across the
street, and slipping quietly to the door
he indstinCtly saw two men at work
taking off the shutters from Joseph Heil's
shoe shop across the way. The
thieves saw the door open and took to
their heels with the officer after them. On
Il straight race he would no doubt have
caught them, but the thieves took advan-
tage of the first alley and disappeared 50
completely that the officer could find no
trace Of them. An examination of the
spot of their operations showed that the
shutters had been pried off with jimmy.

A SUGGESTION, APROPOS.

1t Is not an uncommon thing for the
Kingdoms of the east, in celebrating nation
al events, to perform some act Of generosi-
ty towards its subjects, even to the extent
of restoring large numbers to personal lib
erty and the enfranchisement Of classes
hi therto debarred the privileges of citizen
ship. In view Of such actions, minded in
connection with the proposed celebration
by the Spaniards of the four hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of America by
one of their fellow citizens, we take occa-
sion to suggest to the commander of that
| country that graceful and at the same
time very appropriate, not to say proper,
| thing to do would be to relinquish the
Spanish forceful usufruct so long exercised
over Cuba and permit that principally to
elect whether 1t will assume a coordinate
position in the Sanish government or cast
lot with its more natural and closer friends,
the United States. What could be more
gratifying and just to that people than for
the dominant power, standing upon the
spot where the great discoverer first set
foot on American soil, and proclaim the
disenthralment of that portion of the new
world oyer which it has continued to hold
sway these four centuries. Wepr the
suggestion upon the attention of our Trans
atlantic neighbors in view of the fitness of
such action and appropos Of the fresh dem
onstration of discomfort just now manifest.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

It is claimed that the discoverer of new
article of food Is greater benefactor to
mankind than the discoverer of cont
nent or conquerer Of nation. Whether
the discovery of new food plant fol
stock would entitle the discoverer to such
di stinction, he is nevertheless entitled to I'm.
stinted praise, since food for the animal
makes food for man. Such discovery
has Just been made in Finney county, near
Garden City, in speaking of which the
Sentinel says:
A Sentinel writer called last week at the
place of Mr.. Rice, about a mile east of
town, near the brick yard and saw there
two new fodder plants which seem to
promise good things for the future Of this
section. One was called the Branching
Dourra," and is much the same in appear
ance as the ''rice corn" with which most of
our farmers are familiar. But the pecu-
liar thing about the ''Dourra" is that
when cut off before 1t goes to seed it sends
out several strong branches in place of the
one cut and makes excellent fodder by the
quantity. The writer saw nearly an acre
Of it, much of 1t had been cut once, but
had sent up splendid second crop of ex-
cellent fodder, and gives every promise of
being big thing in that way.
The other plant is called "Teosint grass"
but looks more like corn than grass. 1t
comes from small seed no bigger than
turnip seed, and Mrs. Rice informed the
writer that the stalks or leaves from sin
gle seed of 1t were said to furnish feed
enough for two COWS or oxen for twenty
four hours. We never saw more luxuri-
ant growth, and the broad, green leaves
seem to be just the kind of thing COW
would banker for We shall watch out for
it to the end of the season.

Atlanta Constitution: 1T Is becoming a
sin and shame and blot upon Georgia
that our convicts are treated worse than the
average man would permit his dumb brute
to be treated The good people of Geor-
gis Will not stand this crime, and in rem
dering judgment will hold small difference
between the men who commit the cruelty
and the men under whose contracts 1t is
permitted" 1t is gratifying to note that
the present governor of that state has taken
prompt and vigorous steps to remove the
disgrace by calling the prison lessees to
account for committing or permitting the
outrages against the helpless convicts in
their charge, outrages that are said to have
been known to exist through the entire
term of Gov. Gordon's predecessor In
OH &c. but which were wicked at by that
Official and permitted to continue In prac-
dce "for fear of damaging the good name
Of the state by being made public"

THE M, Z. & s. W. R. R.

The Emporia Republican of yesterday
morning contained the following item,
which is gratifying intelligence to the PEG
pie of Wichita and the towns and country
west and southwest:
Yesterday the work of grading on the
northern line of the Missouri, Kansas &
Southwestern Railroad was commence al
the point of intersection with the main line
just east of this city. The county has
voted aid to this northern line to the
amount of $40, 900, and the large township
in Wabaunsee county, in which the -four
ishing city of Eskridge is situated, has
voted aid to the amount of 5000, max
ing about So, 100 per mile of aid so far or
this line. The townships and counties
north of Eskridge, as we are, Informed
are ready to vote aid to secure the
extension of the line to the Mis-
souri, river. The effort now be
ing made to hold these franchises and the
assurance that the road will be built as
originally contemplated, greatly strength
ems the faith of our people in the ultimate
SUCCESS of the enterprise.
The Missouri, Kansas & Southwestern
railroad, known as the Conkling road, is to
run from Kansas City by way of Emporia
to Wichita and On to Kingman and the
southwest. 1t will make a valuable addi-
tion to the splendid system of railroads
converging at Wichita and give this city
and section another outlet, direct and by
its connections, to the markets of the east
and northeast. The board of directors
contains three citizens of Wichita, which Is
su fficient guaranty that this city's interest
will be conserved in the management of the
new line
